Hiya Robstercrew and thanks for your thread. I assume ya bought used as cz usually provides three backstops in the case. After 500 rounds surprised you didn't have any issue with what your hand felt like, with the different textures a hand encounters in the grip. I've heard good things about the Talon grip,the rubberized version vs the sandpaper one. Worth a try as most folks will want to keep all backstraps for resale reasons. And the operator mentioned the use of gloves, think I have 10 different sets of them and have several favorites, but one has to experiment to find the elusive best fit. When ya get to 25 posts might just post again looking for them,as your audience would be a tad larger. Be well.
